Phone Call with a Fish - Unique Novelty Gift for Kids & Adults - Fun Talking Fish Toy for Prank Calls, Birthday Gifts, and Party Entertainment

It is no secret that people can be cruel to anyone perceived to be different, weird, or mysterious. Fortunately, there are also people who exhibit empathy and reach out to those who march to the beat of their own drum, who see the world in a wholly unique way. Such is the case for the narrator of this picture book. Her classmate is so shy that he never speaks, not even when the teacher calls on him; not even when another boy steps on his foot to get a reaction. The narrator observes how others treat the silent boy and when the class takes a fieldtrip to the aquarium she decides to engage with the boy and try to see the world through his eyes. This is a beautifully told story about compassion, acceptance and friendship with an abrupt ending that will get students talking!
